Final Project
Friday 1st November 2013 - Friday 8th November 2013
So after a stressful week last week, this week began great as I had already created some QR codes and I decided to plan out the tasks, I needed to complete such as; filming, editing, completing my presentation and also creating a leaflet to go alongside the presentation.
Monday - I decided to film the locations, that I had decided would have videos attached to them such as; St Luke’s, Ayrton Saunders Buildings, Bold Street. I found filming the locations really easy as I had the shots I wanted in my mind before so filming didn’t take to long.
Tuesday & Wednesday - On both days I made sure that I focused on editing each clips and adding the information to each clip. So on Tuesday I made sure the two locations that would contain the footage and text where completed which thankfully I completed on time. For the two videos I used Adobe After Effects which I thought was easy to edit with until I began editing on Adobe Premier.
So on Wednesday I decided to edit the last clip with Adobe Premier, this clip contains audio along with the footage. I thought editing this clip would be stressful, I was completely wrong as I found editing in this software rather easy. I felt using this software made everything fall into place, and made sure I had enough time to complete all the other tasks before my presentation time on Friday at 12.45pm and also to create the rest of the QR codes needed.
Thursday - As all the QR codes had been created the day before, I spent the day completing my presentation on prezi, I made sure that I had explained each locations properly and also discussed positives, negatives, developments and areas for improvements.
-An example of a positive would be that I found a lot of local history out that didn’t even know myself and has made me want to learn about more history of our city.
-An example of a negative would be that I didn’t use my time wisely for this project leaving everything till last minute and not being in the right mind frame on certain days.Another a negative of the project would be that I had the project all planned out in my head, but unfortunately the project did not look or work out the way I thought. It had the features I plan but the presentation was not as I planned in my head.
-An example of developing and improving this project would be expanding the the QR codes and stories, finding different locations outside of the city centre. Another would be using a range of media instead of just using; YouTube videos, Voice notes, Texts and Web Links e.g. I could of created a website containing all the stories and history for the locations.
I also created a leaflet contain all the images of the locations and QR codes so that it would be easier for anyone to scan the codes instead of trying to scan them off the presentation on the big screen. Along with the leaflet I also created a word document containing all information of my original ideas, proposal, outcomes, positives, negatives and also the developments.
Friday - So Friday was my presentation day, it began smoothly but for some strange reason I started to get nervous just before my set time. I think I started to become nervous because I wanted my presentation to be perfect and to run smoothly, thankfully my presentation ran smoothly without any hiccups. Also all my QR’s worked and my tutors could see all the media connected to them, which was another bonus!
After the presentation I received some feedback about what I could have done to the project, the feedback I received I agree with e.g. actually going to the locations and placing the QR codes on them, I would of done this with more time. I would of made a short video of somebody walking up to all five locations and scanning the bar codes, as this would explain who the QR codes work.
Altogether I have really enjoyed this project, I think I picked the right option of creating a project using QR codes and given the option again I would pick the same.
Below is the link to my Prezi presentation which consists of all the QR codes, make sure you have a smartphone that can scan QR codes so you don’t miss out also make sure you have headphones you may need them.
